Duplicates of the Passes and Examinations takes out the Sting of the Sentence and
Punishment upon Incorrigible Rogues, a Resolution of this Court should be conveyed
to the acting Magistrates that for the future it will be required of them to transmit
to Sessions such Duplicates, not only to serve as Records as the Law requires, but
as proper Vouchers for the Expence the County is put to by their Orders and
Certificates.

Your Committee are of Opinion that for want of some Method to defect such Vagrants
as should presume to return after being passed as the Law prescribes this County has
been put to repeated Expences and considering the Extent of the Town and the Number
of the Magistrates acting at least in parochial Affairs the Imposition is easy and
the Detection very difficult, to prevent which your Committee recommend that the
Keeper of Bridewell may be provided with a Book made Alphabetical and that
he be required to enter therein the Names of such Vagrants as shall be passed from
thence together with such brief Description of their Age and Person as may
enable him or his Agent to recollect any Person who has been before committed to
his Care and passed and upon such Discovery it be an Order from this Court that
such Person be not discharged or passed before the Sessions, notwithstanding the
Warrant of Commitment, at which Sessions the keeper shall produce his
Prisoner , and the Record being with the Court, the Conviction will be rendered
certain and easy And that a Reward at the Discretion of the Court should be paid
the Keeper of Bridewell for every Person by him so detected and proved an
incorrigible Rogue.

Your Committee are of Opinion that the knowledge of the large Sums gained by
the Constables out of the Rates allowed by Sessions for conveying Vagabonds may
be applied to the benefit of the County, the effectual conveying and delivery of such
Vagabonds being the sole Object of the Law and the cheapest manner of doing it
is left to the Discretion of the Court, and as the method of conveying by Stage Waggons
or returning Carriages is to all intents and purposes as effectual as Carts or Horses
which are generally appointed by the Justice, if it can be done by means of
returning Carriages, with less than half the Charge the County certainly ought to
[..] avail itself of this Saving and not suffer the Constable to raise a kind of
Yearly Salary at the Expence of the publick. And your Committee are of Opinion
that if a proper Person was appointed by the Court for this purpose of conveying
Vagrants and if Vagabounds apprehended in this Town and adjoining Villages were
committed to Bridewell (as by far the greatest part of the Expence to this County
arises from the Beggars apprehended in this Town and Villages adjacent) such
Vagabonds might under the Care of such Person once a Week or aftner if need
were to be conveyed from thence by the means of Stage Waggons Etc to the
great Saving of the publick money, but if this should not be thought a proper
method your Committee are of Opinion that the passing of Vagrants might be
contracted for by the keeper of Bridewell under such Regulations as may be
directed by this Court so as to make it an Object worthy his Consideration and the
County may be greatly benefitted.
